“ People always wanted someone to blame, didn't they? ”
Death cuts off possibilities. Even if they were possibilities you never meant to act on, it feels differentwhen they’re gone.
~ Eileen Wilks
Religion turned some folks belligerent.
Fear and bigotry don’t need explaining. They simply are, like traffic jams and taxes.
Humans were peculiar. They were by turns squeamish and appallingly violent.
